635. When Christmas Morn Is Dawning

1 When Christmas morn is dawning
In faith I would repair
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there,
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there.

2 How kind, O loving Saviour,
To come from heaven above!
From sin and evil save us,
And keep us in thy love,
From sin and evil save us,
And keep us in Thy love.

3 We need Thee, blessèd Jesus,
Our dearest friend Thou art;
Forbid that we by sinning
Should grieve Thy loving heart,

Amen.
